A realist post combine mock draft for the Broncos - The Orange Mane

longtimer · 03-07-2005, 12:06 PM

This mock will try to select player who will most likely be still on the board when we pick.

1st round
Khalif Barnes OT 6' 5" 315lb Washington
Luis Castillo DT (DE in a 3-4) 6' 3" 305lb Northwestern

I think denver goes with barnes because he could play LT for the next 10 years and we would be set at the tackle position. I hope that they would take Castillo but Shanny never dafts what you think he should and they have said that The DL is not that impressive. So they take the next Foster for the OL.

2nd round
Vincent Jackson WR 6'6" 234lb Northern Colorado
David Baas OG 6' 5" 320lb Michigan
Justin Tuck OLB, DE 6' 5" 268lb Notre Dame

If Baas is still there when they pick they take him but its a slim chance he will so they take Tuck who can be a OLB in a 3-4 or play DE on passing downs in a 4-3

3 RD round (comp pick)
Sione Pouha DT, NT 6' 3" 325lb Utah
Matt Jones (WR, H-back.QB) 6' 6" 242lb Arkansas

I think the broncos take a chance on Jones he can play like Sharpe i n the H back position or the slot. Defense will have to account for his size and speed. They have said that they would like another WR and jone has a lot of poteintal.

6th round
Scott Young OG 6' 3" 312lb BYU
A.J. Lindsay DT 6' 3" 305lb Temple

Shanny really want to fix the OL so he take Young who is very Strong and Athletic and fits the Broncos scheme.

7th round
Matt Payne P 6' 4" 234lb BYU
Manuel White FB 6' 3" 250lb UCLA

Shanny like his players to be able to play multiple positions so he take Payne who can also kick FG and Kick off duties. He is also big enough with his speed to be a factor on kick off coverage ( A kicker that like to tackle is a rare thing)

Ah-Hah - a Utah homer

Doubt it will happen, but it would be fun to have Jackson and Jones on the field together. Would be nice to get one of them. Like you say, Broncs tend to surprise, but I would be shocked to see an OT in round 1. They don't have a legit starting DE on the roster right now, assuming Pryce is gone, and they seemed pretty happy with Lepsis and Foster last year. OG is another issue.

Rascal · 03-07-2005, 12:25 PM

why draft a OT when Lepsis still has a lot of years left in him and Foster is good to go.

Draft d-line.

I am not a Utah homer. This draft is shaping just like the one we took Foster and the broncos are on record as saying they are not impress with the DL that they feel will be there at 25. I also stated thathat I would prefer the Luis in the first but Barnes could delope into a franchise LT and you do not pass up one of those. With every team looking for a pass rushing DE I do not think there will be one there worth a first round pick. So we take Barnes. If you are refering to Young in the 6th round at the combine he really shined as the top developement prospecrt at OG and Payne bring more to the table and we all know Shanny loves that. Sundquist has said they want a WR and jones would fit what kind of WR shanny loves big, Athletic and deadly fast.

Barnes at 25

? Not the brightest selection... If we really want to take him we can trade down to the beginning of round 2 and he'll still be there. Also, the Broncos are very pleased with Lepsis production so there's no need there. Other than LB, S and CB there's no position we're so set at with our starters...

He is going to gone in the first round after his senior bowl and combine work outs. He might not even make it to pick 25. That is why if he does shanny will take him. If every one takes the DE talent that drops OL prospects down to us that would not normally be there. I would like to take a differnce maker at 25 and I hope it will be a DL but with so many teams running the 3-4 or switching to a 3-4 the demand for personal to run that scheme is going to out strip the supply of availible talent. Of course if you are sujesting yhat we reach for a player iat 25 then I understabd your point. Just like Foster was the best talent when we picked him Barnes could very well be the best talent when we pick. If a DL is the best Talent then I hope we take him.
